             Bug #: 50995
           Summary: poppler-glib/cairo does not antialias text in some
                    PDFs, while okular does
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Hi,
I have found a PDF file, which looks horrible when rendered with poppler-glib
or pdftocairo. It does render (mostly) fine in okular, so I guess it's either
specific to poppler-glib or the cairo backend.

You can reproduce that bug with:
pdftocairo -png -r 90 -f 15 -l 20 exphy.pdf
or with Evince.

I am using archlinux with poppler 0.20.0 and cairo 1.12.2, but it also happens
on a gentoo system with 0.18.4 and 1.10.2.

Best regards,
Fabian Henze

P.S.: I also experiences crashes when rendering this PDF file to a cairo
PDFSurface, but only if I would use poppler_page_render() instead of
render_for_printing().
